RH,I know a black door is ideal but you’ll likely need paint work on the fender where the front door rubbed it and definitely on the cab. A rear door probably pays 3-4 hours which at shop rates in St. Louis is about $400 with materials. That wouldn’t include de-trimming the door. I’m not sure what the premium is with shipping for a black door vs a local white one, just something to keep in mind.
Glad you know of a body shop in Missouri that will do the work to standard. I knew of body shop that did work to standard in the 1980s. I am sure some body shops that do work to standard are still around; I am just not aware of any.
I am not faulting today's body shops. The insurance industry has forced most body shops to cut corners to keep their doors open.
